Abstract: Similitude relationships for the physical modeling of coastal dune erosion in movable‐bed models are developed based on consideration of the inertial forces, represented by the turbulent shear stress, and the gravity force ...

Abstract: A linear theory equation is presented for estimating water velocity parameters beneath reflected, two‐dimensional, irregular, nonbreaking waves as a function of the incident wave spectrum, water depth, and spatial location. ...

Abstract: During nine small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee, time series measurements of flow thickness and velocity were acquired at a location on ...

Abstract: New developments in the area of shallow water wave spectra have aided in the derivation of an equation for the limiting wave height in the case of fully saturated wind seas in shallow water. The result is very similar to ...

Abstract: A formula for transforming significant wave heights of wind seas between locations of differing depths is developed from the concept of the equilibrium range in the spectrum. The transformation is assumed valid for ...

Abstract: Irregular water waves were generated in a flat‐bottomed, two‐dimensional wave tank with a partially reflecting spending beach. The horizontal and vertical velocity of the fluid particles was measured with a laser Doppler ...

Abstract: This paper provides a technique for the estimation of root-mean-squared velocity parameters associated with irregular waves that have been reflected by coastal structures. A previously published first-order expression for ...

Abstract: Effect of neutron irradiation on notch toughness properties of Boiling Water Reactor pressure vessel steels was determined. Samples from several heats of plate, weld metal, and forgings were ...
